Dark green dragons, once they mature, appear to become an entirely different species. However, this isn’t true. Rather, they burrow underground and get nutrients from their vines. These vines are sometimes referred to as Dragon Grass. These dragons are very violent, and will use their vines to capture, kill, and eat anything that moves, as well as nearby plants. Luckily, their range is limited and they cannot use magic. Dark green dragons tend to be easy to spot since they usually kill all plants around them and thus are usually surrounded by a large clearing.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

This tense, focused female bears a tag numbered 0005 on a heavy copper chain around her neck. Near to where she is hunting stands a tiny human-made shack. It contains only a large card catalogue, each numbered card bearing the demographic information of its corresponding dragon.

This dragon's card has a skull drawn in the upper left corner. The information on the front of the card is neatly printed, but this card also seems to have a few brief notes written on the back in a rather untidy scrawl:

"Dicey (DIE-see)—FEED BEFORE APPROACHING. Does not easily differentiate between friend and foe. Cunning, manipulative. Offspring to be fostered out."

The skull must be a symbol of warning for extremely dangerous dragons.
